Indeed you can. You can retire early anytime you want outside of a PERP. However, if you are not on sick leave, you better be waiting by CNBC with your papers ready to fax to the retirement office, or risk paying the 2,000 per month for early retirement medical premiums after the DCC. Either that, or be sneaky as I mentioned earlier.
